//!	Very simple string class with some useful features.
/**	string<c8> and string<wchar_t> work both with unicode AND ascii,
so you can assign unicode to string<c8> and ascii to string<wchar_t> 
(and the other way round) if your ever would want to. 
Note that the conversation between both is not done using an encoding.

Known bugs:
Special characters like 'Ä', 'Ü' and 'Ö' are ignored in the
methods make_upper, make_lower and equals_ignore_case.
